WOW!!!
Look at all those ambulance calls. It makes me feel so good to think that our city has a paid fire crew that knows how to make sure there are no fires. I bet that fire is afraid of the paid firemen.
What a shame. This city employees all those paid firemen to sit around and do what? Pretty much nothing and we are raising taxes why?
I just heard the fire engine on a call on Owens Branch road that turned out to be a field fire. The engine officer requested 911 to dispatch Station 16 for the volunteer response of the brush truck. Then he calls the ambulance at the station and tells the ambulance crew to drive the brush truck to the scene. Now you have a paid paramedic ambulance out of service at Station 16 that covers the entire west side of the city. They didn't even give the volunteers a chance to take the call. Now you see why they don't have many good volunteers at Station 16? They don't let them take any calls at the station and they try their best to run the volunteers off. Wasted tax dollars by rogue paid firemen.
The officer made the request because he has a fire to put out. His experience tells him station 16 volunteers rarely get out and he cannot wait. When you get enough experience and education perhaps you might get a chance to make a wise decision someday.

I think the point is you paid firemen run off the volunteers.
Joe, why do you incessantly publish posts that lead your readers to believe that there are ambulance employees and fire truck employees when it has been stated time and time again that all career employees are trained in both and ride on both? You do nothing more that exacerbate an already misinformed public/reader
7:14, You just did, again. We are not publishing information that suggests what YOU are claiming. IF that were the case I'd have to ask YOU, why does the SFD publish the exact same information WE do, yet you do not challenge them? Just go to their Website and you will see the exact same information.
I am not referring to your initial articles, I meant to reference the posts by your readers who consistently infer that firemen and ambulance personnel are completely different people. sorry for the misreference
Oh, so you're suggesting I customize ALL comments to fit your wants and needs? Grow the hell up and stop acting like a baby and deal with it.

WTH is a "misreference?" A paid fireman sitting around doing nothing.
If you are referring to the comment about the paramedic crew taking an ambulance out of service to take the brush truck to a fire you have lost your mind. I paramedic crew is more important to the tax payers than a silly little grass fire. You silly little term "misreference" brings to mind another term, mismanagement and that is the problem with the Salisbury Fire Department. Taking an paramedic ambulance out of service so the paramedic can drive the brush truck is total incompetence and mismanagement and all involved should be brought up on charges of neglect.
Taking an ambulance crew out of service to play fireman when that call was for the volunteers is the reason the volunteers don't want to come back. That was their call and they should have been the ones to take out the brush truck.
If you are saying a firefighter/EMT can do the same job as a firefighter/paramedic you are living in lala land. Get a real job you incompetent fool.
